excel-vba Methods for Finding the Last Used Row or Column in a Worksheet Find the Last Non-Empty Column in Worksheet
Example
Private Sub Get_Last_Used_Row_Index()
Dim wS As Worksheet
Set wS = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
Debug.Print LastCol_1(wS)
Debug.Print LastCol_0(wS)
End Sub
You can choose between 2 options, regarding if you want to know if there is no data in the worksheet :
- NO : Use LastCol_1 : You can use it directly within
wS.Cells(...,LastCol_1(wS)) - YES : Use LastCol_0 : You need to test if the result you get from the function is 0 or not before using it
Public Function LastCol_1(wS As Worksheet) As Double
With wS
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(.Cells) <> 0 Then
LastCol_1 = .Cells.Find(What:="*", _
After:=.Range("A1"), _
Lookat:=xlPart, _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
MatchCase:=False).Column
Else
LastCol_1 = 1
End If
End With
End Function
The Err object's properties are automatically reset to zero upon function exit.
Public Function LastCol_0(wS As Worksheet) As Double
On Error Resume Next
LastCol_0 = wS.Cells.Find(What:="*", _
After:=ws.Range("A1"), _
Lookat:=xlPart, _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
MatchCase:=False).Column
End Function
